Buttered Puto

Buttered Puto is a variation of the famous steamed rice cake, Puto. This steamed mini cakes are usually eaten as dessert but most prefer to have them during breakfast (with hot coffee or chocolate) or mid-afternoon snack (usually eaten with dinuguan or blood stew). If you are looking for an easy puto recipe that you can follow, this is the one for you.

This Puto recipe uses ordinary flour, instead of rice flour or ground rice. This makes this recipe easier to prepare. In addition, the other ingredients used in this recipe are so common that you could find them in any grocery store.

You will notice that I was using colorful plastic molds in the video. I got them from the Philippines — in the flea market. These molds are hard to find outside of the Philippines, but I tried to experiment on similar products and the best that I found online were the Silicone Mini Pinch Bowls. Actually, these are even better because these are made of silicon which means that it can withstand high amount of heat.

I had a similar incident before, and it was caused by low quality baking powder. Please makes sure to use high quality baking powder such as Calumet. Using a low quality baking powder won’t give you a good result.

just wondering if it will work out if I use the plastic mold and put the paper cups over it and pour the mix into it. have you tried it chef ? or any tips on how to not get the puto to stick in the mold ?

Thank you for the recipe. Also for those looking for silicone mini pinch bowl I substitute with the small portion cups or medicine portion cups. They become bite size. For the steamer I poke some holes on an aluminum pan, place it on top of a smaller pan that have water and then cover it with aluminum. I am able stack up to three pans and placed holes on em, I just got different size pans. i thought this will help others who is looking for alternative.
